Southern California has a shop hop coming this summer in June. 44 stores in 2 Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun x 2 weeks). Great giveaways, patterns, fabric. Shopping to the extreme! Have done it 6 times. Will go again this year. I think a total of 1500 miles!! Great to take a friend or two, eat out, spend the night in hotels, and see all the great stores.
